Ep 3: The Elevator Pitch

25 Nov 2017 10:30PM(Updated: 07 Dec 2017 01:20PM)

Our 8 finalists learn about the “art of pitching” as the VCs and a guest mentor review their pitches, and identify strengths and weaknesses. Our finalists then put what they have learned to the test in a 45-second elevator pitch challenge. One startup will be sent packing. The winner of the challenge gets immunity in the next elimination round.

About the show:

The hunt for Asia’s next big idea is back on as Channel NewsAsia’s Start-UP returns for a fifth season. This time, with a new host. Pocket Sun, a familiar face in the regional start-up scene, navigates viewers through twists and turns as our three VCs search for startup talent. For the first time, the VCs will travel across Asia to check out the region’s startup scenes, and handpick a couple of startups to join the show’s line-up. The remaining six finalists will be chosen at the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology. The startups will face 4 challenges -- if they survive 3 rounds of elimination -- to compete for seed funding of up to S$2,000,000.
